I was going into a restaurant after being in a park where I had contacted the stuff. I rubbed ketchup all over my hands , then went and washed it off in the ladies room. I never got the rash, and the ketchup felt wonderful. My hands and forearms were tingling all over before the ketchup treatment and I knew I was in big trouble. SAVED by the ketchup. It takes skunk oil off of dogs, so I guess it cut the poison ivy oil too.

Does someone have the unenviable job of having to periodically have to clean up the blood and other uneaten parts or do they just leave it to other scavengers or to be washed away by the rain?

Kate – Are they not yet getting food on their own? Are they still learning how to maneuver and practicing hunting skills?

I am enjoying all the facts about who & what & why can take care of sick peregrines etc. Enjoy all your plant info. My brother used to get poison ivy if someone was burning it; the smoke would carry the oil. It was okay if they burned it when it was brown but not the green leaves. He is 68 now & still is very careful. Faith C.
